By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Richard_M._Davieess]Richard M. Davieess

One of the very best ways to learn Forex trading for beginners is through the use of a Forex trading demo account. I'm sure you're familiar with the saying, "practice makes perfect". It is certainly no truer than it is in the world of the ever-changing Forex markets.

Why is demo Forex trading a great way to learn? Simply because by using a practice simulator you're able to do one of the most important things and that is to know rather than to guess. What I mean by that by placing trades in a virtual environment you can see the results. Not only can you see the results of each trade, but you see the cumulative effect of all trades placed in the form of your fluctuating account equity. This is typically opposite of what beginning traders do when just getting started. It's very common to simply get a hunch or a Forex trading Tip from a friend and then try to remember months later how things turned out. Typically when you're trying to guess your mind will turn to the result that is to your advantage... must just be human nature. With Forex demo you'll be able to track your results exactly as they are, not exactly as you hoped they might be.

You might also ask your broker if you may open more than one demo account. You can do this in order to test out several different distinct Forex strategies and track the equity growth or decline using separate accounts. This makes tracking the results of a particular trading system very easy. This can be particularly useful if there is a signal service or system that you are planning to lease or buy. You'll need exercise caution here, however, because far too many beginner's rely upon results that are way to short-term to be useful. It can be difficult as a beginner to want to dive right in, but if you exercise some patience you will be well rewarded in one way or the other. One way you can be rewarded is to find out that the Forex method that you had hoped would work well is actually working well. The other way you can be rewarded is to find out that we Forex trading system that you were hoping would work well does not work well at all, thereby saving you a ton of future lost money.

So as you can see using Forex trading demo account can help beginners better trade Forex. You will be best served to treat your practice account as if it were your account with real money. In reality, this is the only way to get truly reliable results.
